Article 347 Political settlement
In later generations, the buildings were all reinforced concrete buildings, even if a 120 mm grenade passed, it could not be effectively destroyed, and now, New Delhi is still in tatters, the main buildings, are all bricks and wood, as long as a shot, the whole building will be in ruins.
At the same time, on the infantry fighting vehicles behind, Pakistani soldiers ran and jumped out of it, following on both sides of their own tank units, protecting the flanks of the tanks and preventing further attacks.
"Da-da." From time to time gunshots rang out, and an exchange of fire began between the two sides.
The assault on the Prime Minister's Office was temporarily difficult, while in several other places, it was very smooth.
The Presidential Palace of India, built in 1929, was originally known as the Victoria Palace, which was the office of the British ruler at that time, and after India's independence, it was changed to the Presidential Palace.
This is a majestic palace-like building, with a variety of gorgeous halls, audience halls, banquet halls, libraries, fountain pools, pavilions and corridors outside, and the "Mughal Garden" is a place that makes people feel refreshed. The Houses of Parliament is not far from here.
In India, the president is just a fictitious office and has no power, and all the power belongs to the prime minister, which is very similar to Israel.
The president is the head of state and has only a symbolic position, attending ceremonies and the like, while the prime minister is the head of government and exercises the highest executive power of the state.
Although the accommodation was luxurious, when the Pakistani tanks moved outside, in order to prevent the flowers and plants inside the presidential palace from being damaged by the war, the white flag was quickly raised inside.
The same goes for the parliament building, where the parliamentarians are all at home and not staying here, it is empty, when Pakistani soldiers storm in. Only a handful of policemen, who did little to resist, surrendered.
The fighting was fought mainly between the Ministry of Defense and the Chancellery, of which the resistance was the most intense.
There are 2,000 guards in the Chancellery, all of whom are the most loyal fighters to the Gandhi family. Although the Pakistani army surrounded them, they were still fighting.
They don't have many RPGs in their hands, and many of them even rush out without fear of death, holding homemade Molotov cocktails and throwing them at the armored vehicles outside.
Faced with such a situation, the Pakistani army had no choice but to use artillery to collapse all the buildings on the periphery, so that the opposite Prime Minister's Guard had nowhere to hide, so that it could move forward.
That's it. Fought until dawn.
The army of Pakistan actually drove straight into New Delhi! Now, the Prime Minister's Office is being surrounded, and in a few hours, the heads of state of India, the heavy generals of the army, will be wiped out!
The news. It quickly spread to the whole world, and it was the first to receive the news. It was the United States, when the reconnaissance satellite photographed the streets of New Delhi, the agents in charge of analyzing the satellite pictures quickly transmitted the pictures to William, who came to the White House again.
India is already the second day, and the United States is still the night before. People are off work for two hours and are starting their nightlife, and it's very unpleasant to be reconvened at this time.
"I'm sorry to bring everyone back together." President Ronald Reagan said, "I was also having a family dinner. But there was no way, there was a serious change in South Asia. β
"Is it the encircled armored brigades of Pakistan that have been annihilated? Mhammad came to us again crying and asked for help? Weinberg asked, his humorous words that didn't make the others laugh, he was the last to come in, and he didn't know the situation yet.
"If Pakistan loses an armored brigade, we are willing to give Pakistan another batch of military supplies to make up for their losses. Don't ask the young man Mhammad to cry and beg us. "The problem now is that Mhammad grabbed Rajiv by the neck, and Rajiv was about to die," Reagan said. β
"What do you mean?" Weinberg was puzzled.
"See for yourself." Reagan said that CIA Director William had already handed the satellite photos to everyone.
"Where is this? It can't be New Delhi, right? Weinberg said.
"That's right, that is, at ten o'clock in the evening local time, Pakistan's 1st Armored Division surrounded New Delhi, the capital of India, and fought from midnight to dawn, and the Prime Minister's Office was about to be demolished by them, and the main heads of India were trapped in the Prime Minister's Office, either honorably killed in battle, or surrendered aggrievedly." William said.
"The Indians still have at least eight or nine hundred thousand army troops, where are they all?" Weinberg said.
Although the 31st and 33rd armored divisions were killed, India is a large country with a large population after all, and there are many troops, nearly a million troops, and they can still let the Pakistani army fight to the capital, how did those generals command?
"They are massing towards the capital, and it is expected that within a day, the nearest troops will be able to reach New Delhi." William continued, the satellite also photographed other places, with New Delhi as the center, and the troops within a thousand kilometers nearby were gathering there, but unfortunately, the nearest troops, at least a day, their movements were too slow.
The Prime Minister's Office simply couldn't hold out that long, and the current situation is that Pakistan does not intend to kill Rajiv either, otherwise, the tank guns will directly hit the main building of the Prime Minister's Office, and Rajiv will be gone long ago.
In peacetime, it is absolutely impossible for Pakistan to fight India in a large-scale battle, but now, the main force of the Indians is moving south, and the central part is empty, allowing Pakistan to take advantage of the loopholes, and Pakistan actually uses an armored brigade as a bait to let India's garrison in New Delhi run hundreds of kilometers away to encircle and annihilate, and as a result, New Delhi has become an empty city.
Another armored unit of Pakistan, entered New Delhi!
If not for other reasons, only from a military point of view, this is simply a fairly successful military operation! His strategic purpose has been fully achieved, and the Pakistani army, for the first time, has entered New Delhi!
However, as a commander, they will definitely be able to see a longer term, it is easy for them to enter India, and it is easy to besiege New Delhi, but even if Rajiv is killed, it does not mean that they can win, after all, India still has 8 or 900,000 troops, and this armored division is alone in depth, even if New Delhi is defeated, it will not be able to hold it at all, and it is even more impossible for Pakistan to control a country like India.
And if they want to retreat, these hundreds of thousands of angry Indian troops are in the way of the retreat of the 1st Armored Division, and it is absolutely impossible for them to retreat easily.
The Pakistani armored forces did not directly kill Rajiv, I am afraid that this is also the reason.
The battle has been fought to this point, and the military has been completed, and when it comes down, it should be a political negotiation.
Reagan smoked his cigar and looked at his think tanks, this time, Mhammad had another problem for them, and they had to wipe Mhammad's ass.
"India cannot be destroyed, it is not in our interest." "Once Rajiv is eliminated, the war between Pakistan and India will be protracted, and Pakistan will either keep asking us for help, or it will abandon Afghanistan, and the main focus will be on India," Secretary of State Shultz said. β
"India will not be destroyed, and the current Pakistan is not capable of occupying India at all, and even if it does, it is definitely no better than the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan, which will become a quagmire and completely bury Pakistan."
"We support Pakistan to support them in fighting Afghanistan, definitely not India, and we must lodge a stern protest with Pakistan to make him withdraw his troops."
There are all kinds of discussions.
Reagan continued to smoke his cigar and watched his think tank discuss that time was running out and that he had to come up with a perfect plan!
"We should immediately act as an intermediary and mediate." That's when Vice President Bush spoke.
Bush rarely speaks, but every time he speaks, it means that he has thought it all through.
"We immediately informed the ambassador to Pakistan and asked the Pakistani side to stop the continuation of the military operation, especially to ensure the safety of the Indian Prime Minister and others. At the same time, we informed the ambassador to India to go to the Prime Minister's Office and negotiate with the Prime Minister of India to find a plan that would be acceptable to both sides. The two sides negotiated peacefully to end the dispute. β
The United States must play the role of peace with the mud, and if India and Pakistan continue to fight, the Indian prime minister will be gone, and the huge army will grind Pakistan's first division into pulp, and then, among India, more powerful people will come out to continue to lead India.
And Pakistan, if it fantasizes about occupying the entire territory of India, it is too naΓ―ve, there are many tribes in India, many of them do not obey the central leadership, let alone obey Pakistan, if Pakistan really intends to disintegrate and occupy India, it will only face constant attacks, and finally lose Pakistan's national strength.
The negotiations between the two sides, and then Pakistan retreating to its own territory to end the dispute, is the most satisfactory outcome. At the same time, it is also in line with the interests of the United States in South Asia to keep an intact India, otherwise, India will not be left, and with the relationship between Pakistan and China, the United States will no longer be able to intervene in the entire region.
"Yes, we can't hesitate any longer, we have to do it now!" Reagan put down his cigar, looked at the thinkers around him and said, "Otherwise, if Rajiv really dies, the situation in South Asia will become completely chaotic!" β
No one thought that Pakistan, which has always been in a weak position, would actually dispatch a surprise army to go deep into the Indian capital New Delhi alone.
The bold tactics have played the best effect, and now, the Indian leaders are surrounded, and as long as the Pakistani side is willing, they can be bombed to slag at any time.
What's next for Pakistan? The eyes of the whole world are once again looking here. They don't know that the most psychologically stressed at this time is not Rajiv, but Mhammad. (To be continued......)
